Sorry. How's about this for a bit more help. I can do most weekends if you give me a month or so's notice. I've got a bit of material which I can bring along, though I don't feel confident enough to have a staff, and if I mentioned it to Dave at Crashed, he might turn it into a Crashed stall - at which him and me would be there. Crashed PD was always going to be a Spectrum PD library, and Dave doesn't think there's enough interest for it to start yet (or maybe ever!).
Having said that, he's been doing Crashed for about 2 years now, and he's got some nice (but a little vulgar) back issues for sale. He lives in London so it's a bit of a trek, and he will absolutely not make any money, but it might be worth it if he can get his mate (who he works in a shop with) from Retrogamer to bring down a stall aswell. I can bring my SAM and monitor if necessary - it's a bit of a struggle, but it's worth it. It runs BDOS and Atom hardware into a 42Mb harddisk, so if I'm clever I can run off software if it's ready in time. *Open3D will definately be ready for a sophisticated release, probably with a nice Windows-style front end for designing stuff. I will be able to give the latest version away free if you bring a disk, or if there's any demand, I can buy some disks and press them up as and when you'd like it. *The Diaspora SAM support disks will also be available, which will be nice if you get Crashed. I do warn you, however, it's not seriously supposed to be much use if you DON'T get Crashed, so we'll see if they get sold together or summat. *There may well be a few other disks coming out by then, as Atom Man (remember him?!) is still in production in a couple of games - Matinee and the real one, The Atom Man Files). However, because there's no retailer for these, it's a bit of a labour of love! I look forward to this event if you're having it. I've never had any real contribution to make to the SAM scene, and now I'd like to do something a bit worthwhile. Good luck! -tobermory=howard Regards, Howard Price
